WEIGHT WATCHERS

HOW IT WORKS

The WW program is based on making long-term changes and learning how to balance an “all foods fit” approach. Each member gets an individualized daily amount of SmartPoints to use on food. SmartPoints can be calculated using nutrient values for any food. You’re encouraged to make healthier choices using these points, and healthier food items—with more protein and fiber and less saturated fat or added sugars—have a lower SmartPoints value. You also get a set amount of weekly points to use at your discretion for additional food and less healthy items.

WHAT TO EAT (AND WHAT TO AVOID)

What’s Allowed:– No foods are off-limits– Special emphasis is placed on getting higher fiber, more filling foods, vegetables and fruits, healthy fats, and adequate hydration– Members are encouraged to focus on eating nutrient-dense, lower-point foods to stay full and satisfied throughout the day.

HOW IT WORKS

The Whole30 concept is based on the premise that today’s highly processed diet has triggered inflammation, hormone imbalances, and subtle food intolerances that may be having a cascading effect on health, as well as appetite and food choices. So for 30 days, you focus on eating only whole, unprocessed—or very minimally-processed—foods to allow the body to “reset.” The idea is that these 30 days allow the body to calm down and heal. It also allows youth break less healthy habits, to see what foods you really miss, and to identify potential side effects that certain foods may have on your body once adding them back.

What You’ll Get: – Weekly menus and recipes for Whole30, paleo or other “clean” eating plan or that can fit with a small tweak– Access to hundreds of using whole foods and minimally-processed ingredients

Low Carb

HOW IT WORKS

The goal of low-carb diets is to limit the amount of daily carbs eaten with the premise being that greatly reducing carbohydrate intake allows the body to burn fat, including fat stores on the body. The Atkins diet is one of the most well-known low-carb diets, and it is broken down into several phases depending on weight-loss goal. Phase 1 starts with you consuming only 20 to 40g of net carbs (net carbs = carb grams minus fiber grams). As weight is lost, you transition to other phases where you’re allowed slightly more daily net carbs ranging from 50 to 100g net carbs.

WHAT TO EAT (AND WHAT TO AVOID)

What’s Allowed:– Non-starchy or low-carb vegetables– Meat, poultry, fish, shellfish, eggs, and other animal proteins– Healthy oils and fats– Nuts and seeds, as well as unsweetened nut butters and nut milks– Most cheeses

Select Check any other special diet needs or food restrictions you want menus planned around.

What You’ll Get:– Weekly lower-carb menus and recipes– Access to hundreds of lower-carb CL recipes that use little to no added sugars in ingredients and place emphasis on low-carb vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats

INTERMITTENT FASTING

HOW IT WORKSThe premise behind intermittent fasting is that short periods with no calories (or days with very low calories) cause the body to tap into fat stores and burn a greater percentage of fat mass or energy. Overall calories and nutrient intakes aren’t significantly reduced because the focus is primarily on the timing of food. There are several approaches to intermittent fasting with two of the most popular being 5:2 and 16:8. A 5:2 approach refers to eating at a normal calorie level for 5 days, but consuming as little as 500 calories two days out of the week. A 16:8 approach refers to eating only during an 8-hour time window each day. During the remaining 16 hours, no calories are typically consumed.

WHAT TO EAT (AND WHAT TO AVOID)

What’s Allowed:– No foods are off-limits– Emphasis greatly placed on limiting food consumed two days a week (5:2) or on limiting food consumption to a specific time frame (16:8)– Most fasting plans encourage choosing nutrient-dense foods during those two days, or during one’s 8-hour window to ensure nutrient needs are met

INCORPORATING WITH THE COOKING LIGHT DIET

Noom

HOW IT WORKSNoom is a weight-loss app designed to be your personal weight-loss coach. It’s described as a program “to help you live a healthier life by helping you create better habits.” The weight loss app uses a whole lifestyle approach, meaning the focus isn’t just on food. Though food choices are key, the app focuses more on the psychological aspects behind those choices and slowly changing old habits.

WHAT TO EAT (AND WHAT TO AVOID)What’s Allowed:– No foods are off-limits– Similar to how WW gives each food a SmartPoints value, Noom color-codes foods as green, yellow, or red to help guide daily food choices*Users are advised that it’s okay to eat from all three colors, but emphasis is placed on choosing primarily foods color-coded green (and some yellow)

INCORPORATING WITH THE COOKING LIGHT DIET, check any special diet needs or food restrictions that you want menus planned aroundWhat You’ll Get:– Weekly menus and recipes that are balanced and incorporate primarily green and yellow color-coded foods– Access to hundreds of CL recipes, to help with meal planning for you and your family
